PFO closure - Progression in practice

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: D. Arzamendi, M. Bergmann

Speakers: A. Damlin, J. A. Garcia Ugaldebere, M. Morosato, D. Cazeiro, S. Khan, I. Campos

Summary

This session presents progressive insights into patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, comparing outcomes across age groups and evaluating residual shunting via transcranial Doppler. It highlights tailored antiplatelet therapy durations from the PROLONG registry, long-term safety and efficacy data, morphological variations of the fossa ovalis, and the external validation of the LASSO score for optimizing patient selection in suture-mediated PFO closure.
